We are trying to come up with contribution guidelines for Mankala, a project we would like to bring to KDE. There is a commit policy available at: https://community.kde.org/Policies/Commit_Policy a) Is it ok to ask for signed commits for a project? b) If someone has used a coding agent, what is the best way to acknowledge this? Should the commit message be co-authored, or contain an acknowledgement? A number of KDE projects do not accept AI generated code (primarily due to licensing and ethical concerns), but others do. Of those that do, a few indicate co-authored and the name of the AI tool/agent - the commit policy was written before the use of AI agents. Benson
